  1. Teamwork

  2. Teamwork • “When you're part of a team, you stand up for your teammates. Your loyalty is to them. You protect them through good and bad, because they'd do the same for you.” • - Yogi Berra

  3. What Is a Team? • A team is a collection of individuals, each with his/her own expertise, brought together to benefit a common goal • Teams are often comprised of people who do not know each other and who must work hard to develop productive working relationships despite personal differences and cultural practices

  4. Benefits of a Team • Shared workloads and responsibility • Broader diversity in knowledge and skill • More productive brainstorming • Chances for leadership and personal satisfaction • Sense of belonging to a successful process • Ability to accomplish more than if work is done independently

  5. Developing a Team • Step #1: Team members identify the team’s mission • What does the team have to do? • How will the team accomplish the task? • What information is needed? • What resources are available?

  6. The Team’s Mission Design Brief

  7. Developing a Team • Step #2: Team members establish group norms • Develop guidelines, protocols, or rules • Establish norms as a team through consensus • Regulate proper and acceptable behavior by and between team members • Commit to follow these rules “No design decision will be acted on before discussion with and consensus from all the team members.”

  8. Establishing Group Norms • Create a list of norms by brainstorming with teammates • Analyze each norm and discuss its impact on the team and the overall goal • Identify key norms that everyone can come to consensus on • Establish consequences if norms are broken

  9. Typical Group Norms • Input from all team members • Team meeting schedule and project timeline • Communication protocols • Conflict resolution protocols • Note: A copy of the established norms must be provided to each team member

  10. Developing a Team • Step #3: Identify team members’ strengths and weaknesses • Team members list individual talents, skills, and limitations • Team members identify job responsibilities • Each team member’s strengths are a support mechanism for the other team member’s/members’ weaknesses
